I need my UT3 now!
the phntm rat | 2:20 AM on 07.04.2008 12 comments


They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone...well I know I had my pc working fine up until I fried my motherboard (or CPU, not exactly sure what the problem is still). Now I have no other resort than to use my dad's pc for all my online needs, which is fine...until he needs to use it.

At first I thought this wasn't too bad since I'd be forced to find something else to do with my time. Now I realize that, that was a naive thought considering the fact that I used to do nothing all day but sit my ass on my computer simply because there wasn't anything else to do. Everything that I needed to do (applying for a mindless retail jobs mainly) I've done.

So what's a man to do in such desperate times? Simple, just play the shit out of whatever 360/Xbox games I've got lying around, until I complete them.
It's been well over a week and I've already completed Mass Effect, and Saints Row. Now I'm working through a second playthrough of GTA IV to get the achievement for beating the game in under 30 hours, and trying to beat all of Call of Duty 4 on Veteran, only because I have nothing else to do. I'd much rather not play GTA IV for another 5 months, seeing as how I've poured almost 70 hours of my life into it.

Thankfully though, there is hope. Unreal Tournament 3 is out for the 360 next week and I'll be all over that like flies on shit. Well, more like rabid dogs on raw meat (It's a far more appropriate comparison). I only face one obstacle: my Xbox Live ran out some time ago.


Hopefully, my broke ass can figure something out by the end of this week (maybe call back one of the mindless retail jobs I applied for and hope for the best).






Oh, and if you were wondering...yes, I did just start a blog on Destructoid because I AM THAT BORED.

I just rented Bourne Conspiracy myself and I'm about to play the shit out of it tomorrow. I know what you mean, there's been bit of a drought of games for the 360 the past few weeks and it's getting a little aggrivating.

Welcome to Dtoid.
Protip: don't post your first blog at 3 AM in the morning.

I'm in the middle of building my first computer since high school, which would make it the 2nd computer I've built myself (well, it was a group project, but I made it work dammit!). Had to send most of the stuff back and am waiting for a refund to get a different mobo, cpu, gpu's. Until then, I have a copy of UT3 staring in my face that I know won't run well in my current computer. I barely get 15 fps in TF2, god damn it.

If you already own UT3 on the PC, I wouldn't get it on 360. Just rent other games like everyone else is saying. Skate is very cool imo.
mix's Destructoid Blog
Crunshi is correct....lol

Welcome!
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
Heh, it's true. I hope you didn't use a ton of mods or skins or custom maps, because none of that is gonna work on the PS3.

Welcome, though, and I hope the game turns out the way you want it to.
